Born in Tehran, Laleh Seddigh is the next
contender and favorite competitor from Iran
to win in the International Autoracing
circuits. A PhD student in industrial
management and production at Tehran
University, Laleh has always loved speed.
She has been called "little Schumacher ",
and has been recognized as the best female
racer in the country. She is trained by
former national champion Saeed A'rabian .
Having started driving at the age of 13,
with her father by her side, Laleh is not
only the best driver in Iran, but she is
also the first woman to ever compete with
men in the same sport and win. Graceful,
stunning, and smart, Laleh is not afraid to
push hard for what she loves. Last month,
she was granted her International Racing
Driving License during the BMW School Series
at the Bahrain International Circuit in
Manama. This enables the 28-year-old to
compete at the international level, where
the "little Schumacher", as she has been
nicknamed, can prove to the world what she
is capable of. |
